Below is a brief summary of the types of pliers used in the construction process of electricians, as well as their detailed application methods.
1. Steel wire pliers
Steel wire pliers are widely used in the electrical work industry. The pliers can be used to bend or clamp wire ends, the teeth can be used to tighten or loosen nuts, the blade can be used to cut wires or clamp wire insulation layers, and the side opening can be used to cut wire cores, steel wires, and other hard wire materials. Before using the wire pliers, check if the insulation of the wire pliers is excellent, and if the wire core, wire, and other harder wires are used. Before using the wire pliers, check if the insulation of the wire pliers is excellent to avoid electric shock incidents during live working. When cutting wires with electricity, it is not allowed to use a knife edge to cut two wires with different potential (such as phase line and zero line, phase line and phase line, etc.) together to avoid short circuit incidents.
2. Pointed nose pliers
The pointed nose pliers are named after their slender head and are suitable for operating in narrow working spaces. Pointed nose pliers can be used to cut thinner wires; Can be used to clamp smaller screws, nuts, washers, wires, etc; It can also be used to shape single stranded wires (such as straight, twisted, etc.). If using pointed nose pliers for live working, the insulation should be checked for excellence, and some metals should not touch the human body or nearby live parts during the operation.
3. Oblique pliers
Specially used for cutting various wires and cables, suitable diagonal pliers should be used for materials with varying thickness and hardness.
4. Stripping pliers
Stripping pliers are specialized for gripping the insulation layer of thinner wires. When using wire stripping pliers to clamp the insulation layer of a wire, first set the insulation length of the clamp with a ruler, then place the wire into the corresponding blade (slightly larger than the wire diameter), and then grip the clamp handle with your hand to peel off the insulation layer of the wire.
